Holiness is a most beautiful and lovely thing. We drink in strange notions of holiness from our childhood, as if it were a melancholy, morose, sour and unpleasant thing; but there is nothing in it but what is sweet and ravishingly lovely.
~Jonathan Edwards
***
Holiness is not something we are called upon to do in order that we may become something; it is something we are to do because of what we already are.
~Martin Lloyd-Jones
***
Christian holiness is not a matter of painstaking conformity to the individual precepts of an external law code; it is rather a question of the Holy Spirit’s producing His fruit in the life, reproducing those graces which were seen in perfection in the life of Christ.
~F.F. Bruce
